Laurel Public Library Welcomes Their
New Director
Meet the well-traveled
new
director of the
Laurel Public
Library, Harriet
Jarosh.
Born to be a
Librarian, Ms.
Jarosh always loved reading and was an active
member of the Library Club, as well as having
worked in the school library in high school.
Librarianship was one of the few professions
open to women at that time, and she fit right in!
Harriet comes to Delaware as a working retiree,
having moved to Laurel from Chester County,
Pennsylvania. Harriet has a BA from Simmons
College and an MLS from Villanova.
Ms. Jarosh, a Jacqueline-of-All-Trades, was
previously a Cataloger in Newton, Mass. In the
Chester County Library System she served as
Director in both, Downingtown, PA and Malvern,
PA, as well as a Head of Technical Services, and
a Collection Development Librarian, all before
retiring in 2005. Most recently she was the
Assistant Director of the Georgetown, DE Public
Library.
Harriet’s hobbies include a love of Broadway
theatre, the beach, needlepoint, and travel. She
looks forward to making a difference in the
community through resources available at the
Laurel Public Library.

Your PALS division had its first quarterly
meeting on August 1st in Dover, and, though our
numbers are small, we had a great time and we
hope you can make it to our next one! If you are a
paraprofessional or member of the support staff at
your library, come to TGIFriday’s in Dover on
November 1st at 5:00. This is an opportunity to
connect with paraprofessionals from other
libraries across the state, to share experiences and
views on what it means to be a member of a
library’s support staff, and to help shape the
future of this division. November 1st is also the
deadline for our logo contest. Can you envision a
creative, witty graphic incorporating the PALS
acronym? (Puns are encouraged!) Unleash your
artistic side for a chance at a $50 American
Express gift card and to be immortalized in the
annals of DLA history . . . and possibly on T-shirts,
too. Submit your ideas to any of the PALS

The College and Research Libraries Division of
the Delaware Library Association held its fall

University Law Center. The program entitled,
“HiTech LoTech NoTech Approaches to
Instruction” featured Dr. Tim McGee, Director,
Instructional Design and Technology,
Philadelphia University as the keynote
speaker. Other speakers were: Vibiana Bowman,
Reference Librarian, Rutgers University –
Camden; Donna Wertheimer, Reference
Librarian, Rutgers University – Camden; and
Eileen Stec, Reference Librarian, Rutgers
University - New Brunswick. The program
focused on instructional design for teaching and

(ESL/ELI) programs. Thirty people attended the
program representing 15 academic institutions in
Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Following the program, small groups toured the

Can you guess what Leigh Ann DePope, Terry
Plummer, Susan Ray, Hilary Welliver, and I all have
in common? We earned our graduate library degree
from Clarion University of PA. Clarion has been
accredited by the American Library Association
since 1974 and currently offers courses at four sites,
in Clarion, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.
Last semester I taught Developing Library
Collections and Libraries, Literature, and Young
Adults for Clarion. I’m teaching History of
Children’s Literature this semester and Management
of Public Libraries in the summer. As an instructor
and as a former student, I’ve found the Clarion staff
and faculty to be both helpful and knowledgeable.
Are you looking to save money, both on tuition
and fuel? The cost to earn a graduate degree through
Clarion is much lower compared to other
universities, and Clarion offers an online program
that does not require any travel. Non-PA residents
pay $420 per credit. PA residents pay $256 per
credit. Out-of-state residents who take ITV and/or
Web courses are charged 102% of in-state tuition.
Regular, in-person courses meet during three
weekends per semester, from 6 PM – 9:45 PM on
Fridays and from 8 AM – 6 PM on Saturdays. The
benefit of meeting at the Free Library of
Philadelphia is that students (and instructors!) have
access to hundreds of online databases and lots of
books and other materials.
If rural librarianship is your specialty, Clarion
might be the school for you! Staff members have
been operating the Center for the Study of Rural
Librarianship since 1978. This research facility
serves library patrons in areas that are
geographically isolated from metropolitan library
systems.
